175: The Science of the Good Life

Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, founder of The Flourishing Center (which offers a certificate in applied positive psychology), discusses the science behind positive psychology. Emiliya and I discuss the following topics:

How research can be “me”-search

How to add mindfulness to a meal

Overcoming bulimia and loving her body

The science of well-being

How physical pain is different from social pain and what happens to the body

Serena prefers eating a diet that is more balanced, and since bulletproof coffee is a high-calorie option that does not provide vitamins/minerals from vegetables and is protein poor, she does not think it’s a healthy, daily choice.
